Apply for student aid even if you're unsure
Some of the Saskatchewan government grants in the first table are automatic once you apply for student aid. The “How you apply” line under each one says which. If you skip the student aid form, you can miss them.
Grants and bursaries don't need to be paid back. Student loans do, so read the official page for what you're offered.
Entrance awards at Saskatchewan universities
Many university entrance awards are automatic when you apply for admission. Larger ones usually need a separate form, and some need your school to nominate you. Check the “How you apply” line and put each date in your calendar.
Group awards in the second table are reserved for one group; the tag says which. Our group guides list more.
Studying outside Saskatchewan
The third table shows awards that name Saskatchewan as your home, like universities in other provinces recruiting Saskatchewan students. National awards open to everyone are in our guide to major national awards.
The Scholarship Finder ranks every award in our list for you. The “Find awards that fit you” button below opens it with Saskatchewan picked as your home province.
How this list works
Every award here comes from the same checked list as our Scholarship Finder. Each record links to the provider's own page and shows the day we last checked it. We never copy award details from aggregator sites.
Awards that are closed for this cycle are left out of the tables. They come back when the provider posts new dates. Dates refresh on their own, so a passed date drops off the page.
A listing isn't a promise that you qualify. Each provider sets its own rules and picks its own winners. Read the official page before you apply.
